Confused Over Installing A Boost Gauge

[johnGTS-t]

So i dont know what im doing. have intsalled the boost control and it was suggested to also install a seprate boost gauge.

would i just hook the gauge into the wiring and pressure sensor of the ACV-R?

Electrical or mechanical boost gauge?

[johnGTS-t]

ah yes, electrical. i dont see the need for 2 pressure sensors. if i hook the power wires up to something and the white wire up to the white wire on the pressure sensor that is already installed, that should do it?????

probably different signal or something. try it though, nothing to lose.

I'd install both sensors. You'll have two independant boost indications that way which doesn't hurt. I've had the controller sensor stuff out on my car giving the controller a lower pressure signal than it should have. As you can imagine, boost kept rising and it was only after the increase in power I noticed that I checked my boost guage for confirmation that the controller was reading wrong. Also i'd say you'd be lucky to find an electronic guage that is calibrated to the voltages supplied by the controller sensor, unless by the same manufacturer maybe.
